Ah yes this I knew. I think I was being unclear; what I meant was:

iPhones sold at Apple Retail Stores are factory unlocked. They activate the carrier lock during activation stage; if you didn’t buy at full retail.

If you buy at a carrier store, the iPhone might have to be manually unlocked by a carrier. Even if bought at full price. However, all of this is just my understanding so take it with a grain of salt.

Last time I bought iPhone 6 in Apple Store, US. Inside the sim tray already have a T-Mobile sim card, at first I thought it's locked to T-Mobile. Then it's all okay. Cheaper by 400-500, MY that time not yet launch.
It's worth it. Last time no pin ejector, I don't know if now they already include it.

Is it? I recalled my Ip6+ came with one pin ejector.

Mine didn't have, iphone 6 and 6+. Not even have the slot to put it in the box.

Same like this video. Start at 3:27

not necessary. u can see that there are a lot of ppl would choose to go for the lowest storage option no matter for iphone, ipad or macbook just to save the few hundred bucks not to mention now the price is more than rm1k difference.

iphone vs iphone plus there is already a GAP. Now there is one more iphone x.

Iphone 8 - sgd1148 (RM3570)
Iphone 8 - sgd1308 (RM4068)
iphone x - sgd1648 (RM5125)

iphone 8 plus vs x - RM1057 price in difference. To a lot the price GAP is very significant.

lion city version of iphone got the wording of made by Apple callfonia or not? Or is it a total clean look like US one? UK one confirmed has.

Yes SG/HK iPhone 8/8+ has " Designed by Apple/Made in China".

Apple is made in China and selling world wide

At presence, Mac Pro remains the only Apple Product that's manufactured in USA. The factory is in Fort Worth, Texas. I doubt there's any iPhone that's made in anywhere but China. May be it's a typo? If any, it probably should read "Designed by"

obviously it is a typo. it supposed to be designed by apple.

Singapore is clean type.
I checked for it also in youtube unbox

that's nice.

Coincidence haha, same story here. I got a 6 Plus but it was a Verizon model. Just took out the Verizon SIM. BTW, one good thing about Verizon models: they’re all factory unlocked (required by US law) even when bought with a contract.


US models come with a blank SIM already included in the slot. Phone plans are activated through the setup process, then the subscriber info is written to the blank SIM. That’s why US iPhones don’t come with SIM ejector.

If buying iPhone at Singapore airport, is it duty free?

Nope, mine only has the logo and ‘iPhone’ word at the back.

Btw totally digging that glass back, easier to hold and wireless charging is fine too.

Gst free but only applicable for departure

Also, some might pick the lower storage options and make up for with iCloud subscriptions. For about RM150 a year (RM11.90/month), you get 200gb storage. Or for RM46.80 a year, 50Gb. May not justify paying extra hundreds more for on board storage.

So whats the latest Malaysia launching date rumor?

maybe middle of next month

Full day usage of iPhone 8 Plus.
